The global phasedown of hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants
has officially arrived in the U.S. As Californians adapt to the California Air
Resources Board’s (CARB) current refrigerant proposal, stakeholders throughout
the rest of the country are bracing for federal mandates to soon impact them. With
the transition to lower-global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants underway,
food retailers are busy evaluating emerging alternatives — such as CO2,
R-290 and A2Ls — and deciding which ones will form the bases of their future
refrigeration strategies.
But selecting a refrigerant has significant long-term implications, as equipment and architectural decisions can impact retail operations for one to two decades. In our next E360 Webinar, Preparing for Emerging Refrigerants and CARB Compliance, Emerson will explore the roles that emerging refrigerants play in achieving CARB compliance, preparing for federal refrigerant mandates, and meeting corporate sustainability objectives.
